Bob's Red Mill 13-Bean Soup Mix Two-Pack 29 oz Bags — Ready-to-Cook, No Added Preservatives

Bob's Red Mill 13 Bean Soup Mix is a ready-to-cook blend of thirteen dried beans designed for hearty soups, chilis, salads, and slow-cooker meals.

This two-pack contains two 29-ounce bags of the company's signature mixed bean blend, combining textures and flavors that soften evenly when simmered. The mix eliminates the need to buy many different bean types separately and provides pantry-friendly versatility for weeknight dinners, batch cooking, and meal prep. Each bag is made from gently processed dried legumes with no added flavors, salts, or preservatives.

What makes this 13-bean mix convenient for home cooks?

The multi-bean blend simplifies ingredient shopping and speeds up recipe prep since you get an assortment of beans in one bag. The variety of bean sizes and shapes creates a complex mouthfeel and natural color variety in soups and salads without extra effort.

• Includes small, medium, and larger beans for layered texture
• Two 29 oz bags supply multiple meals or large-batch cooking
• Works with stovetop, slow cooker, and pressure cooker methods
• No need to buy 13 separate packages—saves time and pantry space

How should I prepare the beans for the best results?

Most cooks start by rinsing and sorting the dried beans to remove dust and small stones, then choose whether to soak them overnight or use a quick-soak method. Slow, even simmering after soaking produces tender beans that hold their shape; unsoaked beans can also be pressure-cooked for faster results.

• Rinse and pick through the beans before cooking
• Soak overnight in cool water for 6–8 hours or quick-soak with boiling water
• Simmer 1–2 hours on the stovetop or 20–30 minutes in a pressure cooker
• Add salt near the end of cooking to avoid tough skins

How can I use this mix across different recipes and diets?

The neutral, earthy flavor of the 13-bean mix adapts well to savory applications across many cuisines, from classic New England-style bean soup to Mexican-inspired stews, vegetarian chilis, and protein-rich salads. The beans provide bulk and texture without dominating recipes, so they pair easily with vegetables, grains, and a range of spices.

• Turn into a thick, comforting bean soup with mirepoix and herbs
• Add to grain bowls, tacos, or vegetable stews for extra protein
• Blend into spreads or dips for sandwich and appetizer use
• Ideal for vegetarian and plant-forward meal plans

What storage tips extend freshness after opening?

Store unopened bags in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer the beans to an airtight container to keep out moisture and pantry pests; properly stored dried beans maintain best quality for up to a year or more.

• Keep in airtight jars or resealable containers after opening
• Label with the date opened to track freshness
• Use within 12–18 months for optimal cooking times and flavor
• Avoid humid environments to prevent clumping or spoilage

Home cooks who want a single, reliable bean mix to streamline meal prep, small households seeking convenient pantry staples, and anyone building a versatile vegetarian or budget-friendly rotation will benefit from Bob's Red Mill 13 Bean Soup Mix. It’s also useful for batch cookers and mealpreppers who want consistent results without buying numerous separate bean varieties. The two-bag pack provides value for families or people who like to keep a backup supply on hand.
